A girl who doesn't fit in befriends a blind horse who also struggles to find his place in the herd. A beautiful picture book that helps readers celebrate the qualities that challenge us and make us different.Moon cannot see but he hears sounds that other horses ignore: the eggshell crack of a meadow lark hatching. The glide of a salamander into the pond. Clara does not speak but she hears sounds that other children ignore: the hum of the oven when her mother bakes muffins. The sound of the cat's paws on the kitchen floor.Both the foal and the little girl live with challenges. Both also have special qualities, which are recognized by friends who are open to seeing them. Midnight and Moon is about the rare and wonderful friendship that can form between opposites, a friendship that enriches both. This story shows us that our differences are positives, that the world needs both Claras and Jacks, Midnights and Moons.

In Eyehill, a town too small to support a high school, men and women work hard to wrest a living from the dry, rolling fields. Their passion for what they hold dear -- the land, their spouses and children, their neighbours -- is tangled with yearning for something different and the dangerous allure of the oil industry. Rhea and Jarvis, one shy, the other wild, grow up conspiring to follow their dreams elsewhere. Rhea leaves and Jarvis stays, but Eyehill ties them more closely than blood or marriage.
